Yeah please replace Wells with Trout!!! Wells won't cut it and Hunter is not good as the cleanup man.

His bat speed is absolutely gone. Trout still has a lot to learn but replacing Wells with him improves the team in every facet of the game. Freakin Tony Reagins

Terrible weekend besides Weaver's gem on Friday.

Haren and Santana with poor starts, but I'm sure they'll bounce back quickly. Too much pressure on Pujols so far but at the same time, everyone knows that he starts slow.

I think you have to give Wells at least a month. He was pretty decent in Spring Training and was hoping for a huge bounce back year. With the outfield overloaded though, I think Trout is screwed until Abreu gets moved. :(

What is going on with the Angels, usually the pitching has the upper hand during the early part of the season. I guess only for the opponents.

Good thing is...no more Tony Reagins!!! The Wells trade really hurts the Angels for a while too :(

I don't think the team will take the hit and let him walk away etc. But at least the Halos win today tho! Let's do it again tomorrow too

I bet Weaver is pissed at the BP for a blown game. Yeah so far I'm not that impressed with the Angels at all.

The lineup just seems very underwhelming when Trumbo isn't in it

I agree. Our main lineup should be:

Aybar
Kendrick
Pujols
Morales
Trumbo
Hunter
Abreu
Iannetta
Bourjos

But of course, with Wells being the highest paid player on the team... you have to play him. He really needs to snap out of his funk. He looked good in Spring Training too... I guess my hopes were too high for him.

You'd figure with how craptastic his last few years have been he would've at the very least showed up to camp in good shape...or at least not be rocking a tire around his waist. His bitch tits have some serious jiggling action everytime he swings and misses at a high fastball. Doesn't the guy have any pride?
